AI Summary
This bill, titled "Relating to school districts and open-enrollment charter schools providing silent panic alert technology in classrooms," requires all school districts and open-enrollment charter schools in Texas to provide each classroom with silent panic alert technology. This technology allows for immediate contact with emergency services, law enforcement, health departments, and fire departments. The bill specifies that this technology does not satisfy the existing requirement for schools to provide teachers with access to a telephone or other electronic communication device. Schools can use funds from the school safety allotment or other available funds to comply with this new requirement, and they can use their customary procurement process.
